How to quickly and accurately identify tubes - not just COVID-19 tests
The main theme of the year is undoubtedly testing on COVID-19. The CODEWARE company offers a complete solution from marking (printing) to reading codes, which are intended for gluing test tubes with COVID-19 tests.
The whole system of identification of tested samples must be as fast and accurate as possible. Therefore, special labels measuring 6 mm x 6 mm are used for printing. It is printed on self-adhesive labels with the Datamatrix code. Self-adhesive labels are affixed to the bottom of the tubes, which are inserted into larger boxes for testing so that quick identification is possible using a barcode reader.
